You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. It took 155 years, but here's some good news for black

people. A historic moment in North Carolina, the city of Asheville apologizing to black residents for racist policies and approving a resolution for reparations. The vote calls for increased investment in the black community, including in housing and business. The resolution also asked the state and federal governments to form policies to create generational wealth. Wow, wow, wow this is really special news and I think the first step of reparations should be changing that city's name from Asheville to Moisturizeville.

Can't claim to be an ally of black people if you're named after their worst enemy. Unfortunately, though, because this is happening in Asheville, North Carolina, all reparations will be paid in in artisan crafts from the thriving gallery community.

when it comes to reparations. So let's check in with our very own Dulce-Sloan and see what she thinks about Ashville's historic move.

I mean, African Americans beginning to get reparations? Yeah, it sounds good, Trevor, but I've been black far too long to trust government promises. We're still waiting for that mule they promised us back in 1865. If you want me to trust them now, first they've got to pay up on that mule. Wait, you really want the 40 acres and a mule? No, I don't want the 40 acres, because I know these white people.

They're gonna give me a landfill in Idaho or Utah or some shit, and then they'll make me pay taxes on it. Trevor, do you know you have to pay taxes every year? No wonder what these state with the jail? Okay, so if you don't want the 40 acres, then I don't understand. Why would you want the mule? Why wouldn't I want a mule? It can carry my groceries, I can open a petting zoo, and the best part is white people will be jealous I've got a pet that they don't have.
